Browsed byMonth: September 2018

So, shortly after the 2016 Presidential election – in fact, in direct response to it, the mainstream media decided that they needed to blame something for their epic fuck up. They decided to blame sites like Breitbart and the Daily Wire and such as peddling fake news. Trump decided to turn it around on them, labeling them fake news and basically appropriated the term for his own use.

However, fake news was a very real phenomenon. In fact, I got quite fed up with the shitty sites people kept linking to on Facebook. I was a member of a few conservative groups and I’d keep seeing posts from questionable sites loaded with crappy ads and shitty site designs. Then, of course, leftists kept getting duped by satirical sites and promoted those stories as actual news. Most satirical sites had a disclaimer at the bottom, so this was entirely on the leftists and their wishful thinking.

Yes, I am sure that these crappy blogs and satirical sites had a role in the outcome of the 2016 election, but a minor one. That being said, I haven’t encountered many fake news sites ever since I cleaned up my Facebook feed.

On Friday, the world lost one of the greats, Dick Van Dyke. The comedian and actor spent his lifetime keeping us entertained and reminding us that America is, at its core, a wholesome place. Van Dyke taught us that good, Christian morals are how we can get through as a nation, and he wanted to …

First of all, take a good look at the domain name. It’s “abcnews.live” – ABC would never bother with that domain extension, and if they did, it wouldn’t be for a basic news site. It’d probably be used for a live feed that could be streamed. Secondly, go ahead and look at the site in question. Hover your mouse cursor over the Breitbart link. Here’s a screenshot of what it says when you do that:

You’ll have to click on it to enlarge it, but if you look at the status bar at the bottom of the screen, it has a nice, charming message for all us evil right-wingers: “if you believe this, you are an idiot.” Here’s an archive link in case they change it.

So, being that I’m always skeptical, especially about celebrities proclaiming their love for anyone on the right, I went straight to Breitbart and did a search. Their most recent post on Dick Van Dyke is about how much he looooooved Bernie Sanders. Yes, he’s a Bernie Bro. Or was, back in 2016. Oh, and he’s not dead, obviously.

During brief introductory remarks at Santa Barbara City college, the 90-year-old star of the Dick Van Dyke Show said he had a “really important” message for older voters. “Mostly I want to be here to talk to my generation,” Van Dyke said, according to the Hill. “I have a really important message for them.

So, with this in mind, it’s important to learn how to tell the fake news from the real news.

Check the website for “this is satire” disclaimers. They’ll usually be found at the bottom of the page or on an ‘About Us’ page.

Check the sources cited. If there’s any anomalies with the links, it’s BS. If they don’t bother with a link to a source at all, it’s BS. If their source is another sketchy site, it’s BS.

I hate to advise this, but cross check with mainstream media sites and Wikipedia. If something is true, they usually get around to writing about it eventually.

If there’s no ‘About Me’ or ‘About Us’ page, then it’s probably BS.

And, of course, there’s obvious stuff, like misspellings, punctuation errors, getting basic facts wrong, etc. Whoever runs the abcnews.live site, they’re idiot leftists who have nothing but contempt for right wingers. Just move your cursor over any link on any post. There’s almost always a nasty message for us. Furthermore, they still have a Meta section! What that is, is a section, or widget for WordPress users that allows you, the owner, or a contributor, to log into the blog’s admin section and make a post or do other maintenance, like update plug-ins and such. A lot of mainstream media organizations use WordPress, but they don’t leave the Meta section on their pages.

I just uploaded this very basic video recording of me browsing this fake news site: An Example of Fake News. I suppose the site is supposed to be satirical, but they don’t state as much anywhere on their site. That’s highly irresponsible. After all, the left keeps falling for satirical articles on Sarah Palin (this one is old, but relevant):

The Daily Currant is a satire site, but that didn’t stop CNN primetime anchor Piers Morgan from gleefully tweeting out a Currant story attacking Sarah |

This has happened a lot over the years. Liberals read satirical posts on Sarah Palin and, thanks to their wishful thinking, tweet it as if it were absolute truth. Then it spreads all over social media and liberals everywhere end up believing it, and by then it’s too late to really bother with a retraction. That’s why fake news is such a problem.

The Sarah Palin Story is a cautionary tale about what can happen when politics and celebrity meet. Fox News and their once-upon-a-time darling Palin recently parted ways after three years. But never fear. Palin has a new media outlet by which to share her commentary.

Ugh, before I say anything else, YES, I am aware that Sen. Jeff Flake basically instigated an FBI investigation into this retarded and completely false allegation. Pisses me off, but what can you do?

Well, the autists at 8chan have found out who doxxed the senators from yesterday’s hearings. Behold:

And a couple of screenshots I pilfered from the Gab post above, in case it gets deleted:

And the other one:

Kathlee Sengstock, Legislative Director for Rep. Maxine Waters. Yes, that Maxine Waters. This is wrong. She had no business nor did she have any right to obtain that information using government resources, and she certainly had no right to publicize it. And if she didn’t do it, she’s still responsible because it still came from her computer. She absolutely should be fired for this, but she won’t because she’s a Democrat, and they can basically do whatever the hell they want.

Let’s just make sure that Ms. Sengstock and her batshit insane boss Rep. Waters know that we do not appreciate their shenanigans.

So, unless you’re living in the wilderness and just got back to civilization, I am sure you know all about the ridiculous mess the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation process has been.

I didn’t want to write anything about it because I am kind of sick of it, really. That being said, his first accuser, Christine Blasey-Ford is quite obviously lying. I believe that this whole thing was made up by her or some Democrats or both to demonize Kavanaugh and keep him or any other Trump nominee from being confirmed before the mid-term elections. As of right now, it doesn’t seem to have worked out for them.

Yesterday a hearing was held, AFTER the original hearings where they asked him about his position on the issues and his past decisions as as judge and so on. Then, after those hearings were finished, Sen. Dianne Feinstein comes out with this stupid BS letter from some woman who claims to have been “sexually assaulted” by Brett Kavanaugh and another guy named Mike Judge. Just so you know, it’s not just Judge Kavanaugh being dragged through the mud simply because Democrats can’t get over the fact that they LOST in 2016. They’re dragging an innocent person into this!

Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) used his time with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to ask about a number of things in Kavanaugh’s yearbook from over 35 years ago – including remarks about him farting. “Have you, I don’t know if it’s ‘buffed’ or ‘boofed,’ how do you pronounce that?”

While many noticed that actress-turned-left-wing activist Alyssa Milano landed a prime seat for the Kavanaugh-Ford hearing on Thursday so she could display solidarity with Ford and make a “power statement” by “staring down” Kavanaugh, some missed one key detail: the sign she occasionally flashed

Alyssa Milano, who has gone full leftard, was invited as Senator Feinstein’s guest. And here she is, holding some stupid sign and getting all famewhorish on us. Ugh.

Ashley (Kimber) When it comes to the GOP at yesterday’s hearings… I’m SHOCKED to admit that Lindsey Graham was twice the man any of them were. LINDSEY FREAKING GRAHAM. Who would have thought?! He showed some NERVE… and it was GLORIOUS. Seriously, if you haven’t watched it already, you need to.

Sen. Lindsey Graham came out swinging yesterday. His remarks were awesome, especially since he’s been a RINO for so long. Hate to say it, I guess, but ever since John McCain kicked the bucket, Sen. Graham has been kind of cool. This was easily the highlight of the show yesterday, and it’s really sad that it had to come to this, because the Democrats are so utterly insane.

I don’t know if you’ve watched Kavanaugh’s statement… But I’m sobbing. SOBBING. I’m crying for him. I’m crying for his family. I’m crying for all of us. For America. I’m scared of what we’ve become. His statement

Alyssa Milano decides to make faces at Kavanaugh like a freaking five year old. Grow up, hosebeast!

Appearing on MSNBC following the Kavanaugh/Blasey Ford hearing, former Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer told Chris Matthews that “what we saw today is someone who you could now see attacking a woman.” MATTHEWS: Where do you see this thing going tonight and tomorrow morning?

The man defends himself, and, according to this brainless skank Barbara Boxer, it must mean he’s a total rapist.

Jimmy Kimmel suggested cutting off Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s “pesky penis” if he is confirmed by the Senate in light of his sexual assault allegations, Monday on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Kimmel began by mocking Kavanaugh’s claim he was a virgin at the time of the alleged high school assault, and the show continued with joking critiques from there.

An unknown person located in the House of Representatives on Thursday posted the personal information of Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, as well as Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch of Utah. All three senators sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and their personal information was posted shortly after each questioned Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh during Thursday’s hearing.

Some Republican senators, including Lindsey Graham, were doxxed yesterday – their home addresses were posted to their respective Wikipedia entries. Funny how this never happens to Democrats. It’s so obviously a partisan hit. Democrats are utter scum.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo asked a female classmate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh if he was “known at Yale as a virgin.” | Big Journalism CNN’s Chris Cuomo asked a female classmate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh if he was “known at Yale as a virgin.”

Oh, and here’s CNN’s reaction to the hearings yesterday. Now they’re going to try to find out if Judge Kavanaugh was ‘known’ as a virgin when he was at Yale (since, in an interview I believe, Judge Kavanaugh claimed to be a virgin until he was a young adult, basically). Seriously. As if that would prove anything. It doesn’t, but CNN has long since gone insane.

“As a survivor & a woman, I feel somewhat sick about today,” Sorvino wrote on Twitter amid reports that Kavanaugh may receive the 50 votes required for the confirmation process. “If the @SenateGOP rush to a vote without further investigation, involving the FBI, listening to the other 2 women who have come forward & Judge, then they’ve proven to be more interested in party than truth.

Mira Sorvino goes full retard. The FBI won’t investigate because the allegations are 36 years old, there’s no evidence, and it’s not their fucking jurisdiction anyway! What Blasey-Ford described was not a federal crime. FBI stands for Federal Bureau of Investigation. This woman is supposedly well educated, and yet she does not know that. Furthermore, the FBI already subjected Judge Kavanaugh to SIX background checks…one would have thought something like this would have come up, but it didn’t.

Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said she was “offended” by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony. Gillibrand said, “I thought Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony was incredible. I thought she was so heartfelt, she spoke her truth so passionately, with such candor, with such emotion.

Yeah, and you want to know why he spoke that way? Because he was offended by the fact that you people are lying about him! Whether he’s guilty or not, it’s understandable that he’d be upset. Either he’s afraid that he’s been finally caught, or he’s about to be punished for something he didn’t do (and, for the record, I believe he is totally innocent). Of course’s he’s angry! Thursday’s ‘hearing’ shouldn’t have even happened in the first place! Sen. Feinstein should have brought this up during the original hearings.

Kavanaugh delivered a fiery response to Ford’s allegations in his opening statement, calling out Democratic lawmakers for launching a “search and destroy” campaign to block his nomination, while he tearfully explained how the hearings were affecting him and his family.

Some more media bias for you. Yeah, I noticed that too. Most people’s reactions are partisan – Republicans say Kavanaugh is brave and so on, and the Dems have said the same thing about Blasey-Ford. It’s to be expected. What is not to be expected, or shouldn’t be expected, is for the media to basically agree with the Dems and call her a brave hero for ‘testifying’. They all repeated the Dem talking points – she’s brave and he’s over-emotional. They even said Sen. Graham was overly emotional.

Kavanaugh’s emotional opening statement condemned Democratic lawmakers for a “search and destroy” campaign against his nomination, choking up and weeping while talking about the effect of the salacious allegations on his family. Various Twitter-endorsed Verified accounts said the delivery of his statement shows that Kavanaugh does not have the strength or “temperament” to serve on the high court.

Harris wrote his op-ed one day after the Washington Post revealed that California psychology professor, Christine Blasey Ford, is the woman that now accuses Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were both in high school in the 1980s.

During yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee questioning of Brett Kavanaugh, Dem Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse showed a particular obsession with the SCOTUS nominee’s high school yearbook: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse questioned Judge Brett Kavanaugh about certain notations in his high school yearbook and it was … really something.

Really? Analyzing his yearbook? I guess CNN got the idea from this guy. By the way, this is where the farting bit came from, apparently.

With a Judiciary Committee on Brett Kavanaugh vote set for early this afternoon, it’s clear which way the chips are going to fall, because committee Dem Sen. Kamala Harris is ready to take her ball and go home early: Setting a vote on Kavanaugh less than 24 hours after yesterday’s testimony shows what a sham this process has been.

Slut of the Senate Kamala Harris (seriously, look her up…she’s a fucking prostitute) is just soooo butthurt that their vicious character assassination didn’t quite work out in their favor. I dunno, maybe she should offer to give blow jobs to the undecided Senators. After all, it got her sleazy ass a Senate seat, and it’s clearly all she’s really good for.

Hohmann, the Post’s national political correspondent in charge of the paper’s “Daily 202” news aggregation, wrote: “Brett Kavanaugh notes that the summer that the sexual assault allegedly took place, when Christine Ford says he pinned her down on a bed, he had spent a lot of time lighting weights and doing strength training.”

On Wednesday, news broke about a Rhode Island man named Jeff Catalan who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of raping a “close associate” of his on a boat in 1985. Catalan made his accusation through the office of Rep. Sheldon Whitehouse (R-RI).

One of the Johnny-come-lately accusers recanted their accusation, but CNN clearly didn’t get the memo…or didn’t care. They have their orders from Soros – destroy Kavanaugh by any means necessary.

Last night, MSNBC host Katy Tur couldn’t help but notice a striking difference between Republican senators’ conduct toward Brett Kavanaugh and toward Christine Blasey Ford, one that “will no doubt resonate.” It will no doubt resonate that each GOP Senator starts his time by apologizing to Kavanaugh for what he is going through, while none took their time to apologize to Dr Ford what she has been through.

Daughter of a violent tranny Katy Tur decides to lie about Senate Republicans, because of course. Another meat puppet for Soros and the Democrats. By the way…did any of the Democrats apologize to Kavanaugh for what he was going through? Oh, but it’s so awful that only one Republican apologized to Blasey-Ford. Well, guess what? None of the Republicans believed her, and I believe that they handed their time over to the lawyer they invited, who asked Blasey-Ford their questions. More media bias.

It’s good to know that even in the most tumultuous of times, we can always turn to the Associated Press for quality reporting: He let his anger flare, interrupted his questioners and wept. She sought to present herself as cooperative and respectful. The Kavanaugh-Ford hearing provided a tutorial on gender roles and stereotypes.

Nice to know that the Associated Press is still deeply biased in favor of Democrats. But tell us again how they aren’t biased, Demonrats.

While CBS was conceding that Brett Kavanaugh will probably make it onto the Supreme Court, ABC’s Terry Moran on Thursday fumed about how “millions of women” will feel “annihilated” if the Judge is confirmed. He also warned Kavanaugh not to rule against abortion or the high court will lose “legitimacy.”

As soon as Thursday’s Kavanaugh show trial in the Senate Judiciary Committee was wrapped up, the liberal media was off to the races with their breathless pontifications of how it went. From CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin came a stream of bitter attacks against the Supreme Court nominee and the Republican Senators.

I am a woman, and yet…I am anti-woman? Or is he talking about the Senate Republicans? Either way, he’s an asshole. God forbid anyone think differently than he.

The Democrats and their allies in the media have spent the last few weeks laying the groundwork to destroy the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. First, they tried to say the process was “illegitimate” because Republicans held up Merrick Garland. When that didn’t work, they brought forth an uncorroborated decades-old allegation of sexual assault.

Newsbusters chronicles some of the worst smears about Kavanaugh. This whole charade is obviously organized.

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” network legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said maybe much of the country does not believe the allegations against Supreme Court associate justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh because they are “racist and sexist.” Toobin said, “Can I make a suggestion? Maybe the base is much of the United States.

What the fuck does race have to do with anything? Both Kavanaugh and Blasey-Ford are white? I hate these people so much.

During each short break in the Kavanaugh show trial in the Senate Judiciary Committee, the liberal media let loose a flood of condemnation for the conservative nominee. In the middle of a break during the 5:00 p.m. Eastern hour, a gaggle of CNN liberals ripped into Kavanaugh for becoming Trumpian in his forceful defense of himself, his reputation, and family.

They hate it when we stand up for ourselves. We’re just supposed to agree with whatever shit they say and take it like a wimp. Excuse me, but fuck that.

The liberal commentary during the Kavanaugh/Ford hearing has gone from indignant to downright malevolent. After Kavanaugh sat down to begin his defense, lefties immediately began to mock the man as a drunk who definitely rapes women. The left will ensure that this man will not catch a break.

So, here’s a few more names to add to your boycott lists, if you maintain one. I’ve only heard of a couple people in this particular article – George Takei and Mia Farrow. Fuck the both of them.

Even before accuser Christine Blasey Ford finished testifying on Thursday in Washington, D.C., about sexual assault charges against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a reporter with the Associated Press found a way to kill the time while waiting for something significant to happen. Reporter Calvin Woodward wrote an article asking AP readers: “Will the Kavanaugh-Ford Hearing Be a Where-Were-You Moment?”

The Associated Press goes utterly hysterical over this hearing. Uh, no. No no no no. What’s happening to Kavanaugh is truly awful, but I do not think this is on par with 9/11 or President Kennedy’s assassination. People should remember what happened, because we should remember how evil and sick the Democrats are, but people will forget. They’ll forget, or they’ll remember what the mainstream media said about Kavanaugh and Republicans. We must resist their propaganda.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh came out swinging against the Democratic Party during Thursday’s show trial at the Senate Judiciary Committee. He was rightfully angry and pulled no punches as he called out the bad faith actors trying to destroy his life. But to CNN liberals, he was acting “unhinged” and his comments were “deeply political”.

And Christine Blasey-Ford is a bad actress. I didn’t even see any tears come out of her eyes. Instead, she did a lot of posing and used an annoying Valley girl voice and also vocal fry…I hated listening to her, I really did.

MSNBC contributor Cynthia Alksne on Thursday made no effort to conceal her contempt for Brett Kavanaugh, describing his opening statement as a “temper tantrum” and inferring that he must be “an angry and belligerent drunk.” Alksne, who has previously gone on television to deem Kavanaugh “vile” and “a liar”, characterized his as emotional opening statement thusly: “I thought it was a temper tantrum.”

No, he forcefully defended himself against some disgusting charges, as any self-respecting person would do. Did they honestly expect him to just “confess” and withdraw his nomination in the face of their bullshit accusations? As I said, they hate it when we fight back.

This is one of the many reasons why we call them fake news. This is such bullshit. I hereby apologize on behalf of all women everywhere, for Christine Blasey-Ford’s disgraceful attempt to thwart Trump’s agenda, because this is clearly all it is.

Hollywood lefties have already decided that Kavanaugh is a filthy rapist and that his accuser Dr. Ford is a paragon of bravery and a historical figure for women’s rights. Any attempt by Republicans in trying to get to the truth of this scandal has been met with nastiness and derision.

This ugly ginger cunt and some other random douchebag are clearly in need of dire attention. We’re all a bunch of old fogies with colostomy bags because we dared to defend ourselves. Okay.

The front page of Thursday’s New York Times featured more sliming of youthful Kavanaugh as a drunk in “An Emerging Portrait of a Student ‘Frequently Unusually Drunk.'” The text box: “Ex-Classmates of Judge Recall Hard Partying.” The jump-page headline snuck in a slimy adjective: “Worrisome Portrait Emerges of a Student ‘Frequently Unusually Drunk.”

Carlos Slim’s shitty little blog claims Kavanaugh was a total lush in college. Only one problem – this supposed attack happened when he was in highschool. This allegation is totally irrelevant and proves nothing.

The Kavanaugh circus is raging on. In the midst of the allegations and denials, most Americans are just looking for a calm voice that will defend due process, fairness, and general faith in humanity. And most Americans were not in the audience for the Sept. 25 episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers.

This sack of shit had to drag Catholic priests into it, all the while conveniently ignoring the fact that their precious commie pope has done precisely jack shit to hold the abusive priests accountable. But all Catholics are pedophiles, right shithead? Notice how he just automatically assumes Kavanaugh is a flat out rapist, even though he wasn’t actually accused of rape, just sexual assault, which are not the same thing.

Appearing this afternoon on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House program hosted by Nicolle Wallace — his sidekick on the McCain presidential campaign — Steve Schmidt broke out the tired liberal claim that Republicans somehow resemble the villains of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ The show has been described as portraying “a dystopian future .

Nicolle Wallace’s fuckbuddy Steve Schmidt also had to chime in, although he did so on Wednesday. He looks like a creepy pedophile from some old dime store novel. See, I can be a bitch too.

That’s all I can stomach now. I fucking cannot stand these people, I really can’t. This whole thing was utterly disgraceful and unnecessary, and all the blame rests on the shoulders of the Democrats. They are truly the absolute worst thing to have ever happened to humanity. They are pure weapons-grade evil.

Oh, it’s Banned Books Week…I think. Or was that last week? Well, it’s in September, and as of this writing, it’s September, so I’m just going to link to last year’s post on the matter.

So, get ready to show your kids how wonderful books like Fifty Shades of Gray are. Or, perhaps, you might like a classic of the genre – like Shirley Conran’s Lace? Raunchy fun for the whole family! That’s what Banned Books Week is really about. You could try handing your kid a book by Michelle Malkin, or Mark Levin, or Ann Coulter. I am sure their books have been banned at libraries for being “mean” or something.

But no. Pick the raunchiest book you can find in Amazon’s Erotica section and hand that to your kids, cuz muh freedom.

NPR has released a hit piece on Alt-Hero, Vox Day’s comic book series. A bit of brief history: ever since the success of the Marvel-based superhero movies (collectively known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe), comic books have had a bit of a renaissance. Unfortunately, just as comic books have received this surge of attention, they’ve all been severely converged by social justice warriors. This has been a problem for a few years now, and disgruntled comic book fans on both sides of the aisle (but mostly on the right) have been clamoring for comics that have not been infested with leftist propaganda.

So, like any intelligent businessman, Vox Day saw an opportunity. After all, he wrote not one, but two books on dealing with SJWs, and I am sure nothing would please him more than beating them at their own game: hence, Alt-Hero. For a crowd-funded indie comic series, it’s doing pretty well. Of course, it’s no DC or Marvel, but few really are.

Now the leftists are screeching and howling with rage over the fact that right-wingers, including alt-right people, are not only walking away from their bullshit, but are actively competing with them. And that simply cannot do, so they called in their goons from the Ministry of Propaganda – in this case, the snooty public access talk radio division – to fight back. And they do, in the most predictable fashion.

You can listen to the segment here, but I just recommend skimming the transcript, of which you’ll find at the bottom of the page. It’s cancerous cringe, it really is. I am not going to fisk the entire transcript, but I am going to comment on a few bits I found interesting.

2001 was a life-changing year for me. I graduated from high school that year, and a few months later my baby brother was born. He’s a teenager now, and is hardly a baby, but he’s still my baby brother. Anyway, about three and a half weeks later, the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened.

I was living in California when it happened. I was a recent graduate and had no idea as to what I wanted to do with my life. I was living with my grandfather, and at the time we were trying to get me to lose weight so I could join the Air Force (sadly, I did not join, and it is my biggest regret in life). Our plan that week was to go get a scale so I could weigh myself.

So, that morning I lay in bed. I usually play the radio while I sleep, as I can’t sleep in total silence. It creeps me out, and I still listen to the radio even now. Back then, I liked listening to smooth jazz, but I was having trouble getting a decent signal on the stations I usually listened to, so I settled on some Hispanic music station instead. I figured that if the vocals were in Spanish, I wouldn’t be distracted by it and stay up all night.

That morning, as I lay in bed, I listened to what was on the radio. At first, I thought that there was some sort of radio promo for the show The West Wing or some other political show, because instead of Spanish music, I was hearing what sounded like a Presidential speech.

Then I listened more closely. That wasn’t an actor – that was the real president, President Bush. He was talking about an attack! I jumped out of bed and headed straight for the living room. My grandfather was sitting on the couch, watching the news footage grimly. I sat down and watched it with him for a while. Then I went back to my room to record what was on TV for posterity.

Every — and I mean every TV station was airing someone else’s news coverage of the event. It was chilling as I had never seen anything like that before. I struggled to find a VHS tape but I found one I was willing to sacrifice, put it in and began recording. I watched for a while and then had to stop so I could shower and get ready to go to the store.

Now, back then, we lived in Suisun City, of which is not far from Travis AFB, where I was born. After getting dressed and having an argument about my weight loss with my grandfather, we left to go get that scale. We tried to get on base via Airbase Parkway, but at some point, long before we even got to the gate, we and everyone else were turned away. Since my grandfather is an Air Force veteran, he likes shopping on base, as you don’t have to pay sales tax when you shop there. Prices used to be cheaper too, but I’ve noticed that they aren’t anymore. Anyway, Travis and every other base in the US was shut down for the day, due to the attacks.

We ended up going to the Target in Fairfield. I can’t really remember anything else about that day. But I do remember where I was when I first heard of the attacks. My family remembers too. My mom was home with my baby brother. My father listened to radio coverage while he did his mail delivery route. My sisters were in school, and a lot of their classmates were terrified, even though they were in Oregon.

Before then, I had basically no knowledge of Islam. Now, of course, I and everyone else in the US knows. I voted for Bush the previous year, and I was quite impressed with how he handled everything.

For one very brief moment, we Americans were united. Then the Democrats remembered that Bush had won the election in 2000, and decided to basically blame Bush for the attacks. Oh, and in the years since, Muslims are now the biggest victims of the 9/11 attacks, not the American people.

One quick thing I have to add — I used to visit a lot of anti-Britney Spears sites back then, and the owners of those sites basically laughed at the attacks. It made me so angry, and I stopped visiting them.

Nowadays, you can’t mention Islam in connection with the 9/11 attacks or else you’re a vicious racist, an Islamophobe and an asshole. Mention the fact that the 9/11 terrorists were doing it in the name of Allah, and you’re victimizing Muslims. No fucking joke.

I’ll never forget that day, even though I was on the other side of the country. I didn’t know anyone that died that day, but it has affected me all the same. I notice things, like the ridiculous security measures at airports. Before, non-passengers could go past security and hang out at the gates with you. Now, that can’t happen. At least, as far as I can tell.

Islam is absolutely the problem. No, not all Muslims are terrorists. I am sure that some innocent Muslims died that day, along with all those Americans. But I am not going to spare anybody’s feelings by lying about what happened and why it happened. And, by the way, nothing, NOTHING justifies 9/11, so don’t even bother bringing up any shit the US might have done in the Middle East. Nothing justifies it.

But Islam is the problem. There are too many either actively involved in terrorism or providing safe harbor for terrorists that don’t kill themselves. We don’t know who’s safe. That’s pretty fucking scary.

I get pretty salty and angry whenever someone mocks the attacks. This stupid website, Regretsy, had a contest where you had to submit a Blingee graphic essentially mocking the way people chose to commemorate the attacks. I am happy to report that Regretsy shut down a while ago. Good riddance. I usually have a stupid, fucked up sense of humor, but even I have limits, and 9/11 is one of them. Besides, only a leftist would come up with such a disgusting contest. No wonder they all believe Bush and his Halliburton cronies did 9/11.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say about it. No doubt there will be leftist scum defending Muslims on this day, while simultaneously attacking Americans.
